About

Chinese-born, New York-based, Zining Ye, is a designer who strives to create a fashion language that juxtaposes chaos with tranquility and maximalism with restraint. Form and textile manipulation are central to her work. Traditional silhouettes are fused with architectonic textiles, and neutral palettes combine with rigid volumes to create collections that are quietly striking. During her studies in the FIT MFA Fashion Program, Zining Ye found a balance between traditional Asian culture and modern expression.

All kinds of skin care products are constantly updated in contemporary society. Excessive skincare makes more and more people suffer from skin problems. For example, my grandmother only uses edible olive oil for skin care, but she has nice skin that everyone wants. My skincare method and my grandmother's are huge differences. I have many different functions and brands of skincare and make-up products, but I still suffer from skin problems. This project starts with comparing skin care between me and my grandmother and explores the theme of skin and skin care. I investigated skin problems, skin conditions, skincare history, exaggerated new skincare items and products, etc. in the elderly and young people. In combination with the physical characteristics of the elderly, a silhouette experiment was carried out. I chose dark red combined with clothing structure to express people's skin wound conditions, surgical sutures, and skin problems. This design series chooses suits, woolen fabrics, and jacquard fabrics, presenting a series of autumn and winter menswear designs.
